The first thing I do is use the 61 piont relaxation to get my mind and body relaxed.
Then I pretty much go to sleep and say "The next time I am dreaming I want to remember to recognizethat I’m dreaming. From my personal experienbce and everything I have read it is the remembering to recognize that really seems to help the technique.
The same time I’m saying the mantra I imagine myself finding a dreamsign and becoming lucid. Then I continue as if I am Lucid and after a while start the visualization over with the SAME dreamsign (usually flying).
It took my about two months of HARD work before my mind got used to it but after that getting Lucid become quite easy.
Hope this helps , persevere and good luck!!!
